Script to Check TempDB Speed

Below script shows TempDB data files and lists out how fast they’re responding to write (and read) requests:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
SELECT files.physical_name,
files.name,
stats.num_of_writes,
(1.0 * stats.io_stall_write_ms / stats.num_of_writes) AS avg_write_stall_ms,
stats.num_of_reads,
(1.0 * stats.io_stall_read_ms / stats.num_of_reads) AS avg_read_stall_ms
FROM sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats(2, NULL) as stats
INNER JOIN master.sys.master_files AS files
ON stats.database_id = files.database_id
AND stats.file_id = files.file_id
WHERE files.type_desc = 'ROWS'

 

We’re looking for two things:

Are writes being evenly distributed between data files?
Are writes finishing in 20ms or less?
If the answer is no to either of those questions, we’ve got some performance tuning work to do.

 

Dynamic management function (DMF) sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats returns I/O statistics for data and log files.
